In contrast to key fobs, which require a code to unlock the ECU and start your vehicle ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU via its own CAN data network.

Instead, it uses your buttons already on the steering wheel and door panels to create an alterable sequence that has to be entered before your vehicle can begin. It can take up to 20 times long and works similarly to the PIN code of credit cards.

The device is completely concealed, so that thieves cannot find it. It also doesn't use radio waves and is based on the CAN network, making it virtually invisible to thieves who use scanners that scan RF.

Many car thieves try to remove the chip CAN or replace it inside the ECU to be able to avoid detection. However, this technique is only possible by professionals who have access to the right tools. This is why the ghost immobiliser is so effective and can be utilized to safeguard your vehicle from a lot of different types of vehicle thefts.
